E D I T U S E R 1.14
Ed Sutherland, 1993
_____________________________________________________________________________
DISTRIBUTION
------------
EditUser is FreeWare and may be freely-distributed both electronically
and physically. The only string is that no fee, aside from media costs, can
be charged. Starting with version 1.14 the DICE source code is private and
will not be provided.
REQUIREMENTS
------------
EditUser requires at least 2.04 of the Amiga ROM. Naturally, you must
own TelePro Technologies' DLG Professional BBS package.
INSTALLATION
------------
Place EditUser where you keep third-party software.
COMMAND SYNOPSIS
----------------
EditUser allows DLG Sysops to view and edit the user account settings.
You can act on one user at a time or enable the batch mode. Editing can be
limited to one feature or over 20 at once. This command can be used only
from the CLI or Shell. (A GUI is currently in development)
KEYWORDS
--------
USER --- This is mandatory and should be followed by the user's name,
either in the form of "First Last" or First_Last (note the underscore).
EXAMPLE:
1> EditUser LIST USER "John Doe"
1> EditUser LIST USER John_Doe
LIST --- This begins the sequence to display an account. It can be
followed by USER <username>, in which a single user will be printed, or
ALL, indicating the batch listing command.
EXAMPLE:
1> EditUser LIST USER "John Doe"
1> EditUser LIST ALL
EDITING
-------
Editing can be accomplished by using one of many keywords and their
appropriate arguments. More than one element of the user account may be
edited with one call to EditUser.
EXAMPLE:
1> EditUser USER "John Doe" ALIAS "Bill Smith"
1> EditUser USER "John Doe" ALIAS "Bill Smith" LEVEL 20
EDITING KEYWORDS
----------------
The editing keywords come in three flavours. One expects a string
argument. Another requires a number and the remaining are toggles that can
be turned on and off. In the following list, string arguments are indicated
with "<string>", number arguments as "<number>" and toggles as "<ON/OFF>."
Before any editing takes place, a backup of the current User.Data file
will be made. After editing, the number of items successfully changed will
be printed.
ALIAS <string>
This edits the user's alias or "handle."
ANSI <number>
This edits the user's ANSI status. A 0 indicates no ANSI.
ARC <number>
This edits the user's archiver. The number is system dependant. Use
the SYS option to get your specific arrangement.

This toggles the user's ability to write bulletins. 1=ON, 0=OFF.

This edits the user's city.
